About Brian Johnson


Founder | Food Service Consultant | Knife-Wielding Problem Solver

I started Johnson Food Service Consulting to do one thing: help operators stop putting out the same fires every day. Whether you’re battling bloated food costs, clunky labor models, or menus that read like novels and sell like pamphlets—I’ve been there. I’ll bring structure, strategy, and maybe a laugh or two while we figure it out.

I’ve worked with restaurants, K-12 schools, corporate dining programs, and national contract food service companies. I know what it’s like to juggle food quality, guest experience, staffing shortages, and surprise health inspections—all before lunch rush. My goal is to bring calm to the chaos, and systems that stick long after I’m gone.

I’m also passionate about food justice and policy. I’ve spent time in Washington, D.C. lobbying for change as part of Tom Colicchio’s Plate of the Union campaign—because fixing what’s broken in our kitchens sometimes means speaking up beyond them.

No fluff. No silver bullets. Just real talk, practical fixes, and a plan that actually works for your kitchen—not someone else’s.

And yes, I still flinch a little when I see a club sandwich ticket come in. Some scars never fade.
